How did an Afghan sex-worker get Aadhaar card as 'Delhiite'?
What's the story
Even as activists wage war on Aadhaar based on its many alleged flaws, another case has come to light that might strengthen their case.
An Afghan woman was among 16 arrested for a prostitution racket in Gurugram.
But when asked for identification, she produced an Aadhaar card. According to it, 'Jagjeet Kaur' is a South Delhi resident.
However, this isn't the first such incident.

Afghan native named 'Jagjeet Kaur' was apparently a Delhi resident
On December 17, Gurugram Police busted a sex racket in Sector 39. Among the arrested was a 24-year-old Afghan native.
But according to her Aadhaar card, her name is Jagjeet Kaur, married to a Delhiite and living in South Delhi.
Cops are trying to verify her ID. If violations are found, a case under the Foreigners Act may be registered, an official said.
